Munchery

When I was in college, I could get delicious food delivered for really cheap. It wasn’t usually all that healthy, but it always hit the spot. Now that I live in Chicago, I can barely get a good non-deep dish pizza delivered for under $30 (a decent Chinese meal ends up over $60 for two of us). The situations is only worse if I want real food. While my standards have probably increased quite a bit, I still think that the state of food delivery–especially in big cities–is pretty sad. Why can’t I get something healthy, tasty, and reasonably priced brought to me in a reasonable amount of time? That’s exactly what Munchery offers. They’re a San Francisco, CA based company that offers wholesome dinners prepared by top chefs delivered to your door. Instead of searching for a restaurant to order from, you just pick the meal that you want.

Here’s how Munchery works. In addition to offering affordable high-quality food, Munchery also does everything in an eco-friendly way and even donates a meal for every meal that they sell. The meals typically need to be warmed before eating, but that’s a small price to pay for the quality that you’ll get. Another nice feature is that they have options for all kinds of dietary restrictions and preferences. There are quite a few similar businesses popping up across the country (and especially in the Bay Area where there are lot of young, well-paid professionals with no time to cook), and I think it’s great. If you agree, check out Jobs at Munchery. Right now they’re looking for a Customer Care Specialist and a Photographer’s Assistant. There also quite a few postings for more advanced positions, and they indicate that Munchery will be opening up shop in Seattle, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York.
